Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Reef (Haifa) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for The Reef (Haifa) over the next 16 days.
Truth is, I’m lookin’ at a blank stretch. From now through to the end of the month, there’s no surf worth paddlin’ out for at this spot. Every single day – Saturday the 11th all the way through Sunday the 26th – the forecast is callin’ it “poor surf conditions.” The swell barely gets a pulse: heights stay between 1 ft and 3 ft, periods are short (5 to 8 seconds), and the combined energy is weak, mostly in the teens to seventies, with a couple of afternoons nudging just over 100 – still tiny. The wind is nearly always cross‑onshore or onshore, never clean offshore. So it’s choppy, bumpy, and just not worth the hassle.
The Reef is a beach‑and‑reef setup, exposed to the west, with an optimum swell from the west. It’s rated as inconsistent, and this run proves it. For a beginner‑friendly wave, you’d need some clean, waist‑high swell, but we’re not gettin’ any. The water is warm though – 83°F with a anomaly of 3°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. But that doesn’t help when there’s no wave.
So, there’s a full 16‑day gap with no recommendations. Sometimes this area goes quiet, and it’s one of those times. The only thing I can say is that forecasts can change, but right now you’re better off findin’ a different hobby for a while.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
